  1. Great list. I love the 2500 movie challenge. Notably absent: Jack Nicholson, Toshiro Mifune, Daniel Day Lewis

  2. Paul newman is my favourite. If he deserved the oscar for any movie, it was the verdict.
    I can;t fault your choices for Pacino. I'm especially happy to see Donnie Brasco there.
    Give me that over scent of a woman anytime.
    Newman is really my only favourite actor.
    But i do like some of the others. I would also include Robert Mitchum.
